Hi, Due to an engine change, my Caterham engine is up for sale. It has covered 16500 miles (mostly road with two track days), and has always been meticulously maintained with regular oil changes using Comma 5w50 motorsport oil. The head of the engine has recently been refurbished and a multi-layer gasket added 1,500 miles ago by K-Series specialist. As well as this, the cam-belt and water pump was replaced. The sump baffle has also been removed by Sevens and Classics. This sale also includes: - Full engine loom including ECU and immobiliser. - 4 into 1 exhaust manifold. - Standard silencer including Cat and aluminium cover. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with me if you have any questions. Either PM on L7C, or call me on 07780560272. I'm open to offers, so, again, please contact me. Many thanks, Will

Ralph, I have PM'd you!

*Bump*

Hi all, I've taken the standard springs and dampers off my caterham to upgrade, so they are up for sale! From 1999 Caterham, 12000 miles on these so still in perfect working order. Fronts have usual exposure marks but in good condition, rears are near mint (old style de dion with lower bolting). Photos can be sent upon request. £offers Thanks, Will (zero7780560272)

Pm'd

Thanks for the help guys! Will give it a whirl on my BH Monday!

Thanks for the ideas. Surely I don't need to remove the plugs as well as unplugging the injectors?! Seems like a tough fix to just crank the engine over for 5 or so seconds! Will

Hi, I wonder if anyone knows what to disconnect to stop a K-Series VVC EU2 firing so you can build oil pressure before it runs? I know with the Ford engines it is a simple clip you disconnect just on the back of the engine head. Thanks in advance! Will

Hi, Looking for a set of adjustable springs/dampers for my 1999 Caterham - old type de dion. Perhaps someone has just a set of adjustable collars? Thanks, Will

2nd dibs wheels please! Thanks

Anyone ever used kmaps .co.uk?? They seem to offer a rather tempting map package, but not sure if it is a genuine viable option? Cheers

Hi All, Currently got Prisoner Wheels with 205/45/R16 tyres. I did try some 10 spoke anthracite wheels, but the ground clearance was simply too low. Unfortunatley I don't have adjustable dampers, which is the root cause of a lot of this! If you are saying 6" width is adequate, i may go with this on the front, and 7" on the rear? What size tyres would you suggest for this setup? I'm also wondering what brand would be most appropriate? I don't want to have too much grip, so wouldn't mind a harder wearing tyre. Regards, Wil

Hi Richard, My thoughts with the larger side wall is for ground clearance of the sump - However i'm not too keen on the 'baloon' look of the tyre. What would you suggest instead? Thanks, Wil

Hi all, Looking at getting some of the wheels as below: http://www.johnbrownwheels.com/products/jbw-70-x-13-superlight.html Is there any reservation I should have with the 7" width? I believe the standard width is to go with 6"? Has anyone used these wheels before? Are they any good? I'll be getting some 185 70r13 tyres (yet to choose) to go with the rims. Thanks

Any takers at £350?
